Elementar – Stable Isotope Analysis
Stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) is a useful technique with a broad range of applications. This relatively simple, yet amazingly powerful technology brings ever deeper understanding to areas from paleoclimate studies to police forensics, archaeology to aquatic ecosystems, sports doping to soil science and many stops in-between. With such diverse applications areas, we support a complete portfolio of equipment to support you with your research, no matter which application you are focused on.
Our customers pursue a diverse range of applications and so each customer has a unique set of requirements for their hardware. However, no matter what their application, all systems have a common structure which can be used to tailor your specific requirements.
Isoprime visION forms the core of our dedicated solutions across a range of applications. These solutions are pre-configured, complete configurations delivering everything that you need to generate exceptional research in your area of study.
Each solution consists of an isoprime visION stable isotope analyzer and a single peripheral inlet system (e.g. elemental analyzer). The system can also be upgraded to a “plus” version by adding an additional inlet system if required (e.g. gas chromatogram). All isoprime visION solutions are powered by IonOS, the most advanced stable isotope software ever created.
Isoprime precisION is the highest performing stable isotope ratio mass pectrometer offering complete flexibility to move in any direction that your research leads.
Isoprime precisION forms the core of your system; a starting point from which to grow your research. Maximize the possible research options with your system by choosing any combination of inlet systems and automatically switch between them using the centrION Continuous Flow Interface System which is directly incorporated into the instrument.
